The diverse countries of Latin America have produced a lively and
ever evolving tradition of novels, many of which are read in
translation all over the world. This Companion offers a broad
overview of the novel's history and analyses in depth several
representative works by, for example, Gabriel Garcia Marquez,
Machado de Assis, Isabel Allende and Mario Vargas Llosa. The essays
collected here offer several entryways into the understanding and
appreciation of the Latin American novel in Spanish-speaking
America and Brazil. The volume conveys a real sense of the
heterogeneity of Latin American literature, highlighting regions
whose cultural and geopolitical particularities are often
overlooked. Indispensable to students of Latin American or Hispanic
studies and those interested in comparative literature and the
development of the novel as genre, the Companion features a
comprehensive bibliography and chronology and concludes with an
essay about the success of Latin American novels in translation.
